It's tough to know when it's time to let them go. Annie was an 85lb. lap dog who would try go get up and snuggle with you on the couch. In the last couple of years she also had Arthritis and she would look up at me through slightly cloudy eyes from cataracts as if to say "I'm doing the best I can". I had to borrow my son's mom's dog, Penny, for a few hours this past Saturday to get that "fix" you're talking about, John.

There's no way I am going to an animal shelter right now, Ian. I'd come home with 5 or 6 dogs.
